To reach US 385 in Colorado, I first drove east on US 94 early in the morning of June 27, 2013. This shot is looking back to the west.
The vehicle for the trip was the trusty 1995 I-5 cylinder auto transmission VW Eurovan Camper, Sharon.
How about government buildings that get better with age and never die; preserved at taxpayers expense.
A gas stop named for a best friend, ha!
The beginning of US 385, also named the High Plains Highway as it proceeds northerly in this region of far Eastern Colorado.
I wondered if this dome hid a missile and then I concluded that the lack of military security meant no. Perhaps an oil storage tank? If so, compliments the industrial nature of US 385 in this region.

This blog editor really sucks!

At peace atop a hill, notice age difference.

The official details on the lake.
Campsite below the dam of Lake McCoughny at the Cottonwoods Campground. We departed from US385 in order to camp here. There is not much camping along US 385 in Colorado and pan handle Nebraska. So I changed the rules, temporarily. Arriving late on Thursday afternoon, ended staying three nights. Friday was spent exploring the lake's beaches and by then it was too late to drive on. Especailly not wanting to find a camping spot on a Saturday. Ending staying thee nights.
